Reviews and Ratings
Staying in the three-bedroom apartment was ideal for our family trip with my two adult daughters. The apartment was well-equipped and spacious, offering a stunning view of Tabletop Mountain and the marina from the balcony. However, the service had some ups and downs, from being extremely helpful to a disappointment with a limo trip error and lack of apology. The location couldn't be beaten, providing both peace and proximity to the vibrant V&A Waterfront. The dining experience was exceptional with a wide variety of fresh, delicious options. Despite some service issues, the overall stay was enjoyable with fantastic views, location, and dining.
